Leadership SAISD (LSAISD) seeks dedicated individuals to join the LSAISD Education Leadership Development Program during the 2024-2025 cohort year. Participants of the program will develop an understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing school districts and the education sector, develop their own leadership skills to create meaningful change, and have access to an equity focused community and network of resources. 

​

Cohort members meet once a month to hear from influential speakers and experts, review best practices, research, explore equity in education, and conduct site visits. Together, participants and experts explore the issues that shape public education today with an emphasis on real-world solutions and practical problem solving. Seminars provide a factual, non-partisan look at how schools function.

​

LSAISD provides the only free 9-month leadership development program focused on the educational landscape of San Antonio. The sessions are designed to be participatory in nature and the program includes a graduation project focused on sharing your story of self and your reasons for being involved in the education landscape. In order to get the most out of the program and to fulfill the mission of LSAISD, it is necessary that participants be engaged in the process. Additionally, participants are encouraged to engage in optional events and service opportunities coordinated by LSAISD.
